Join us for another slow week of entertainment as we go over some interesting things and ask the question of what is the preference when it comes to manga vs anime and which one do you prefer or is it both. Continue reading Ep 130 Manga Vs Anime→

As Jeff Winger once famously said, “This is the blow-off class of the semester.” All you have to do is listen as Warren, Terrell, and Eric ring in the new year with a new style. They have done away with the news section replaced it with 3 questions to discuss. What is the state of Final Fantasy going forward?, What is a casual gamer?, and When has a sequel gone too far?. All you have to do is listen and you get full credit for the course.

This week on around the geek we bring you a brand new episode during a slow news week. We still bring you a very entertaining episode this week that we know that you will enjoy. Follow us on Facebook, twitter, instagram.

Greetings ATG fans, back from the dark depths of the aether it is me Jake!

With the beginning of the new year I always try to make a few New Year’s resolution centered around my gaming, I find it helps focus me throughout the year.

This year I have two gaming resolutions.

The first is centered around my main hobby, Warhammer Fantasy Battle, it is my goal to complete my secret Warhammer project by April to be unveiled at the Unplugged Grand Tournament, a large competition based in Connecticut. I have roughly about 140 models to paint between then and now, so hopefully I can do it.

My second resolution is that part I think the ATG fans will find more compelling.

Recently, I have been seriously contemplating buying a new gaming PC. The next gen systems don’t really appeal to me, RPGs and Strategy games are my favorite genres, so PC is the natural choice; however, when beginning to budget this decision I realized I still have over a dozen games I have barely touched, some of which are still in their wrappers.

Unplayed games sitting around collecting dust seemed like such a waste, I’m not the type of person to constantly buy new games only for many to not get played *cough* Terrell *Cough*, so I have made a decision, I vow not to buy any new games or systems (with a few exceptions Pokemon, Ages of Empire Expansions, Total War), until I have worked through a list of 15 games I have not beaten, and 5 series or games I want to replay.

I must beat, or put at least 10 hours, into all 15 games on this list, before buying any new games or electronic systems (with a few exceptions, new Pokemon, ect.).

The loose rules I am setting up is that the new games need to be beaten in some form, or have at least 10 hours of gameplay before they count as tried. There will be some wiggle room here as the goal is after all to have fun, if a game bores me, or really bad then it gets crossed off.

That is my list, there are a lot of older titles on there, some harkening back to the days of DOS :).

As part of this resolution I am also going to try to post more regularly on this site how many play through are going, and will definitely be posting reviews of the games once they get crossed off the list.

Until next time, I have been Jake!
